Babies With Guns Continue to Shoot Themselves, Other Babies
By Bob Cesca · May 09,2013
Rewind a few weeks and you might recall how a certified sociopath and right-wing bumper sticker author named Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) delighted in the creation of the following tweet: “If babies had guns, they wouldn’t be aborted.” He loved it so much that he turned it into a slogan and a bumper sticker for his re-election campaign. The obvious message: anyone who carries a firearm

Denver – As early analyses of the latest Ryan Budget start to come in, the terrible consequences for Colorado’s middle class families are once again clear.

Unemployment Rate Would be 7.1 Percent Without Government Cuts
March 11th, 2013
By Jason Sattler
One of the biggest Republican myths of the last four years is that the government has been exploding in size. The truth is that federal, state and local governments have cut more than 750,000 jobs since June of 2009.
If those jobs hadn’t been lost, the unemployment rate would now be 7.1 percent, according to the Labor Department.

The Truth Behind the Attacks on Chuck Hagel
By Arriana Huffington
If President Obama's second term includes decision making as bold and intelligent as his nomination of Chuck Hagel to be Secretary of Defense, his presidency might finally fulfill the promise of audacity and change that rallied so many to his campaign five years ago. In fact, the more ridiculous the claims being made by Hagel's critics become, the

Apoplectic: of a kind to cause or apparently cause stroke as in an apoplectic rage; also: greatly excited or angered as in she was apoplectic over the news. Hegemony: the social, cultural, ideological, or economic influence exerted by a dominant group. These are my new favorite words of the week.

5 Disturbing Signs Romney Would Steer Us to Towards a Capitalist Dictatorship
The lies and activities of Mitt's campaign show a contempt for democracy itself.
November 3, 2012 |

There has been a great deal of comment among Republicans on the subject of rape. See the accompanying articles.
In all these comments, the onus seems to be put upon the woman. It is almost as if these Republican men blame the women for getting raped. Never have we heard them talk about the rapist. The obvious conclusion is that Republicans condon rape for the rapist (man) but not the victim (woman).
On the other side of the Republican coin, is the attitude that sex is a sin

There is genuine concern that the republicans will try to steal the coming election. There is plenty of evidence that they have the mindset to do so.
In addition the wholesale lies by the Republicans and their SuperPacs, (go to Politifact.com to see) there are many avenues available that may be effective. Certainly the efforts at voter suppression in the guise of fighting a non-existent voter fraud is one example.
However, it turns out that the Republican’s worry about
